Engaging Students with Fractured Fairy Tales

Encourage your students to take notes on Fractured Fairy Tales and fill them in as you explore various aspects of this genre together. You can utilize the answer key for grading their notes or distribute it if time doesn't allow for a whole-class lecture on the subject. Additionally, I offer supplementary teacher notes that provide extra explanations for the bullet points on the Doodle Notes page, giving students further insights to bolster their understanding.

Also Included:

• Genre Checklist Worksheet: This worksheet assists students in determining whether a text fits within the genre. They should be able to provide one to two examples for most elements to substantiate that the text belongs in the genre. This can be applied to any novel, picture book, short story, or film.

• Fractured Fairy Tale Novel Questions: These questions are tailored for any story or novel within the fractured fairy tale literature. An answer key is not provided, as responses will vary based on the specific novel being read. Students should record their answers on a separate piece of paper.

• Recommended Reading List: This list features books I highly recommend for this genre. I or my kiddos have read most of the titles and verified their content for appropriateness; some we haven't, but I've chosen them based on reviews by others or because they're considered classics within the genre. The list is organized by Lexile number and recommended grade levels.
